<p>In this new anthology the editors of the widely acclaimed The Political Interests of Gender (1988) make a compelling case for reconstructing feminist theory in critical-realist terms fostering more robust multi-dimensional approaches to analyses of the political interests of gender. <br><br>Leading gender studies' scholars utilise different research traditions to investigate topics including human rights women's movements gendered labour markets international monetary policy equality policy and queer politics. This unique anthology includes theoretical and empirical work illustrating how to build bridges between materialist and discursive theoretical frameworks for understanding the politics of gender. It will be a trend-setting text for advanced gender studies political science and sociology courses as well as for professionals in these fields.</p>
